Samsung launched its Galaxy S4 smartphone back in April and the device has proven to be incredibly popular. It took the smartphone about two months to sell 20 million units and four months after launch to hit 30 million units. As the phone has aged and competition increased, it's sales pace has declined.

The Galaxy S4 sold only about 5 million units in August. However, Samsung CEO JK Shin recently stated that over 40 million Galaxy S4 smartphones have been sold globally since the device launched. Considering the phone is been around for about six months, this is an impressive feat for Samsung.

Samsung has continued to roll out some interesting new products following the launch of the Galaxy S4. Most recently, Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch. The Galaxy Note 3 has impressed both reviewers and customers; however, the Galaxy Gear smartwatch has proven to be rather unloved in many reviews.

That's not it at all. That's simply your opinion.

The simple fact is that Microsoft recently released the Surface 2 and 2 Pro, and then shortly after the Nokia Lumia 1320, 1520 and 2520 were announced, keeping them in the news. They're new device announcements, of course they're going to be reported. Whether the reporter favours Windows phone is a completely different matter, but regardless, they will still be reported, as they have been on every other tech site.

Every single article in which this person posts forms some form of extreme hatred towards Microsoft, even if the article is not in the least bit related.

Perhaps it's actually due to those who actually own Windows Phones realising that it is a really great OS and a real competitor to Android sans the app library.
